Overall we had the best experience at Saga and will be back next time we are in NYC

The atmosphere feels elegant and intimate, with stunning panoramic views that truly elevate the entire experience high above the Financial District and New York City skyline.

Spectacular city views
✨ Top-notch service and polished ambiance — ideal for celebrations
An excellent spot for birthdays and special occasions. Everything was perfectly executed, making it a truly memorable fine-dining experience. Highly recommended for an unforgettable evening.
Thank you Saga for a memorable and truly special night.
The food was nothing short of extraordinary. Each of the ten courses showcased remarkable technique, thoughtful composition, and flavors that linger long after the plates were cleared. The venison with truffle, prepared with meticulous care and layered with rich flavors, easily secured its place as one of the most memorable dishes I’ve ever had, definitely a top-five “I’d come back just for this” moment.
Service at Saga is prestige in its purest form. Sebastian, our main guide through the evening, elevated the entire experience. His passion, enthusiasm, and deep knowledge brought each dish to life, making every bite feel even more meaningful.
To close the night, their Moroccan tea blend was absolutely perfect, the fragrant, soothing, and beautifully balanced tea, that I genuinely wished they sold it so I could enjoy it at home. It was the ideal finale to a flawless tasting menu.
Saga is more than a restaurant; it’s an experience on the 63rd floor overlooking the Big Apple. I strongly recommend this place.
The food, though, didn’t quite match the rest of the experience. We had the tasting menu, and course after course leaned heavily on fish. After a while it all blended together and felt repetitive. The venison was the one break from that, but it was far too chewy to enjoy. Dessert ended up being the standout dish of the entire night, which says something.
Everything around the food was excellent, but the food itself wasn’t at the caliber you expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant. Still, the service and atmosphere make it worth a visit.
That said, the food didn’t live up to the hype or the price point for me personally. Several dishes felt more focused on presentation than actual flavor, and overall the menu lacked the depth and balance I’d expect at nearly $300 per person (before wine, tax, and gratuity).
It was also disappointing to be served a “Late Summer” pre-fixe menu in the middle of October. For a restaurant of this level, I expected the menu to reflect the season more thoughtfully — especially when the price and reputation set such high expectations.
I can appreciate the ambition behind the concept, but it simply wasn’t the right fit for my palate or sense of value. A nice experience overall, but not one I’d rush to repeat at this price.
